Measuring what matters

Simple, transparent pricing that grows with you. Try any plan free for 30 days.
Last year, we wrote a whitepaper announcing that Springpod programmes had generated £98 million in social value since 2022. This year, we are excited to share our latest version and announce that we have generated £325M in social value in 2025 alone. We did that through our most rigorous measurement of the impact that our partners' programmes create for young people, and for society as a whole.
In addition to the measurement we adopted last year with GIST impact, this year we partnered with Social Value Portal, who expanded our methodology across six brand new social value blocks.

£325 million in one year is proof that what we are doing together is working. But it is not enough. We want more young people reached, more partners committed, more futures changed. Our aim is to enrol over a million young people into our programmes and create more than £1 billion in social value by the end of 2027."
